The guides put in 110%. They were extremely knowledgable, attentive to the needs of all, tireless workers, yet relaxed, friendly, and a lot of fun. Great mechanics too.The bus drivers were were skilled and you could relax in their hands. Each day the ride would be different, yet all were memorable, and many times, challenging. With the Andes as a backdrop sometimes it was difficult to concentrate on the road!

Overall, the redspokes Peru/Bolivia trip was a fantastic experience with a variety of challenging cycling, both physically and mentally. Fantastic scenery, particularly at the high passes. Also a very social trip with opportunity to enjoy a drink and chat about the experience. Great support and company from Omar, Angel and Julio who were very friendly, professional and only too happy to go above and beyond. Had a ball!

Superb trip and the only one I saw offering a trip through Peru to Bolivia and staying in guesthouses/hostels. The cycling is hard (but meant to be) and the views are unimaginable. Very good value for a very good trip. This is me at the top of the pass leading into Death Road. Top speed 42.7 mph. Total calories burned in tour 52,000. Longest descent 45 miles. Longest drop 3,500 metres

Excellent tour. Every evening it was made clear what was to be expected the next day. The cycling distances were as described and good to do. There is always a speed difference between people, some people want to go fast, others like to go slower and maybe take pictures. Therefore, our tour leader made it clear that there was no need to hurry and people could take their time.

I think the tour leader Eduardo did an excellent job, kind of a perfectionist. Sometimes it was difficult to find a guest house or breakfast but he was searching a whole evening for breakfast in a town and the next morning he found something. This is what I call real customer service. Also his crew, when something on the bike was not ok, it was fixed within minutes. And the guys on the truck and the bus were always friendly and helpful as well. Only compliments from my side.

I was totally spoiled by this trip from the great food to the incredible organization as well as the friendliness of the people we met along the way. With a great guide Eduardo and his support team of Alex and Lucho and the camaraderie of the group this was a tour by which I will gauge all future tours.

But in the end it is the spectacular scenery under the blue Andean sky that turns this trip into a cycling dream. Although every day was scenic I will always remember those long rides on the shores of Lake Titicaca as being nothing less than a cyclist's heaven. For one can look at all the pictures one wants but they will never relate to you the depth of the experience of this tour. So all I can say is '˜get on your bike and do some weekly sprints for a couple of months and then sign up for a redspokes tour that will not disappoint'. Hasta la vista...baby.

A brilliant experience - helped in no small part by the camaraderie and friendship of the others in the small group of "conejillo de indias" cyclists. As it was the first time that the tour had run a few route detours and minor modifications to the preliminary schedule were to be expected; luckily Dermot and his dependable local support crew of Eduardo, Bernabe and Alex were always up to the challenges which were thrust upon them at irregular (but fairly frequent) intervals, and in the majority of cases the spontaneously revised schedule then presented us with unique and unexpected opportunities - street parties, bullfights and an early-morning stoop through church catacombs were certainly not on the original tour agenda!

Peru to Bolivia was one of the best trips of my life. It was my first tour through another country on a bike and it most definitely will not be the last. It's the best way to see a country - you see everything, no flying over what could be below/sitting on a bus for hours missing everything you past by. You see everything and get a real feel for what makes the country tick. Eduardo, Alex were the best cycling buddies and Lucho did so well on the Road of Death!! Such a good trip!

I loved redspokes. Highlights were the country, terrain, Eduardo, fellow guests and logistical organization. I would love to ride with redspokes again.

Had a really good time but found the altitude difficult. I was able to manage my way through by resting in the support van when I was struggling . Such an interesting country, glad I went. Three hours down hill on the death road day was brilliant.
